Is The Federal Circuit Succeeding? An Empirical Assessment Of Judicial Performance, Polk Wagner, Lee Petherbridge Mar 2004

Is The Federal Circuit Succeeding? An Empirical Assessment Of Judicial Performance, Polk Wagner, Lee Petherbridge

All Faculty Scholarship

As an appellate body jurisdictionally demarcated by subject matter rather than geography, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit occupies a unique role in the federal judiciary. This controversial institutional design has had profound effects on the jurisprudential development of the legal regimes within its purview - especially the patent law, which the Federal Circuit has come to thoroughly dominate in its two decades of existence. In this Article, we assess the court's performance against its basic premise: that, as compared to prior regional circuit involvement, centralization of legal authority will yield a clearer, more coherent, and …


Adrift On A Sea Of Uncertainty: Preserving Uniformity In Patent Law Post-Vornado Through Deference To The Federal Circuit, Larry D. Thompson Mar 2004

Adrift On A Sea Of Uncertainty: Preserving Uniformity In Patent Law Post-Vornado Through Deference To The Federal Circuit, Larry D. Thompson

Scholarly Works

Congress created the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in 1982, and granted that court exclusive appellate jurisdiction over civil actions arising under patent law. Congress's primary goals in creating the Federal Circuit were to produce a more uniform patent jurisprudence and to reduce forum shopping based on favorable patent law. But in the 2002 decision of Holmes Group, Inc. v. Vornado Air Circulation Systems, the Supreme Court held that patent counterclaims alone could not create Federal Circuit jurisdiction. This decision not only overruled the Federal Circuit's longstanding jurisdictional rule, but also opened the door for Regional …

Rise Of The Machines: Justice Information Systems And The Question Of Public Access To Court Records Over The Internet, Gregory M. Silverman Feb 2004

Rise Of The Machines: Justice Information Systems And The Question Of Public Access To Court Records Over The Internet, Gregory M. Silverman

Washington Law Review

In the first half of the present Article, I introduce the reader to this technology (Part II) and its likely role in evolving justice information systems (Parts I and III). In the second half of the Article, I enter the debate over whether the public should be permitted access to court records over the Internet. After explaining the origins, history, and principal sides of this debate (Part IV), I argue, first, that when used properly, XML permits the public to have access to court records over the Internet while promoting public safety and protecting personal security (Part V) and, second, …


Designing An Accessible, Technology-Driven Justice System: An Exercise In Testing The Access To Justice Technology Bill Of Rights, T. W. Small, Robert Boiko, Richard Zorza Feb 2004

Designing An Accessible, Technology-Driven Justice System: An Exercise In Testing The Access To Justice Technology Bill Of Rights, T. W. Small, Robert Boiko, Richard Zorza

Washington Law Review

The Access to Justice Technology Bill of Rights project, sponsored by the Access to Justice Board of Washington State, included a committee composed of attorneys, judges, technologists, and librarians charged with envisioning an ideal civil justice system. Our goals were to design a system with certain core values (e.g., due process and access to justice), test the system using a complex family law scenario, determine what opportunities technology brings to the table, and identify what barriers technology creates for persons using the system. This Article describes an idealized civil justice system (System) unlike anything that presently exists. The System is …


The Common Law Process: A New Look At An Ancient Value Delivery System, Dennis J. Sweeney Feb 2004

The Common Law Process: A New Look At An Ancient Value Delivery System, Dennis J. Sweeney

Washington Law Review

Have common law courts subtly and incrementally put themselves out of the substantial and traditional business of law-making or, at least, put themselves out of business as we once knew it? More personally, do I belong here? Or am I helping to betray the common law tradition I preach and practice and which has served the citizens of Washington since statehood and before? The short answer is: I think not. Each of the relevant principles, if they are to have any practical application at all, must someday be applied by a court to an actual case, to an actual controversy. …


Online Court Records: Balancing Judicial Accountability And Privacy In An Age Of Electronic Information, Peter A. Winn Feb 2004

Online Court Records: Balancing Judicial Accountability And Privacy In An Age Of Electronic Information, Peter A. Winn

Washington Law Review

This Article examines the traditional balance courts have reached between the disclosure of information generated by the judicial process and the need at times to limit the disclosure of that information. The Article then examines how this traditional balance is upset when judicial information is placed online. The Article argues that as courts adapt to a world of electronic information, new rules and practices must be established to maintain the policies underlying the traditional balance. While there must continue to be a presumption of openness, courts must limit the disclosure of judicial information when it threatens the effective administration of …


Some Reflections On Long-Term Lessons And Implications Of The Access To Justice Technology Bill Of Rights Process, Richard Zorza Feb 2004

Some Reflections On Long-Term Lessons And Implications Of The Access To Justice Technology Bill Of Rights Process, Richard Zorza

Washington Law Review

The Washington State Access to Justice Technology Bill of Rights (ATJ-TBoR) process (Process), described in detail in both its substantive and procedural aspects in other papers in this volume, has the potential to have a major impact on access to justice in the state—its first and primary goal. In addition, however, it has the potential to have broader implications in the legal world, in the process of legal innovation, in access to other services, and internationally. This paper is intended to start the debate about these implications and how they can be optimized and maximized.


Keeping Attorneys From Trashing Identities: Malpractice As Backstop Protection For Clients Under The United States Judicial Conference's Policy On Electronic Court Records, Michael Caughey Feb 2004

Keeping Attorneys From Trashing Identities: Malpractice As Backstop Protection For Clients Under The United States Judicial Conference's Policy On Electronic Court Records, Michael Caughey

Washington Law Review

Federal courts in the United States have embraced electronic access to court records because it promises to allow courts to run more efficiently. At the same time, critics worry that electronically available court records might provide identity thieves with a trove of clients' personal information. The United States Judicial Conference has adopted a policy endorsing electronic access to court records, but the policy does not contain an express enforcement mechanism to protect clients' privacy. While court-directed protections, such as Rule I 1 sanctions, might help prevent identity theft, they will not help clients after the crime occurs. To recover their …


Toward A New Constitutional Anatomy, Victoria Nourse Feb 2004

Toward A New Constitutional Anatomy, Victoria Nourse

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

There is an important sense in which our Constitution's structure is not what it appears to be--a set of activities or functions or geographies, the 'judicial" or the "executive" or the "legislative" power, the "truly local and the truly national. "Indeed, it is only if we put these notions to the side that we can come to grips with the importance of the generative provisions of the Constitution: the provisions that actually create our federal government; that bind citizens, through voting, to a House of Representatives, to a Senate, to a President, and even, indirectly, to a Supreme Court. In …


Does History Defeat Standing Doctrine?, Ann Woolhandler, Caleb Nelson Feb 2004

Does History Defeat Standing Doctrine?, Ann Woolhandler, Caleb Nelson

Michigan Law Review

According to the Supreme Court, the Federal Constitution limits not only the types of matters that federal courts can adjudicate, but also the parties who can bring those matters before them. In particular, the Court has held that private citizens who have suffered no concrete private injury lack standing to ask federal courts to redress diffuse harms to the public at large. When such harms are justiciable at all, the proper party plaintiff is the public itself, represented by an authorized officer of the government. Although the Court claims historical support for these ideas, academic critics insist that the law …

Institutions Of Learning Or Havens For Illegal Activities: How The Supreme Court Views Libraries, 25 N. Ill. U. L. Rev. 1 (2004), Raizel Liebler

UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship

The role of libraries in American society is varied: libraries act as curators and repositories of American culture's recorded knowledge, as places to communicate with others, and as sources where one can gain information from books, magazines and other printed materials, as well as audio-video materials and the Internet. Courts in the United States have called libraries "the quintessential locus of the receipt of information, "'places that are "dedicated to quiet, to knowledge, and to beauty," and "a mighty resource in the free marketplace of ideas." These positive views of libraries are often in sharp contrast with views by some …


Order In The Court: Judicial Stability And Democratic Success In Haiti, Ben J. Scott Jan 2004

Order In The Court: Judicial Stability And Democratic Success In Haiti, Ben J. Scott

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Haiti faces many challenges in its attempt to build a stable, liberal democracy. Haitians have endured a legacy of chaotic and heavy-handed rule in recent decades, and the success of democracy in Haiti is both hoped for and doubted by Haitians and the international community. One reason for the doubts has been the failure of the Haitian government successfully to implement free and fair elections. Citizens and candidates are often hesitant even to participate in elections. Though both were tragic, neither the failed legislative and presidential elections of 2000, nor the subsequent coup d'etat in 2004 that resulted in the …
